Automates the creation and setup of isolated git or jj worktrees for feature development and bug fixes.
The Create Worktree skill streamlines the process of managing multiple development environments by automating the initialization of git or jj worktrees. It handles directory creation, branch setup, and dependency installation via 'make setup', while also providing optional initialization of thoughts directories. This skill is ideal for developers who need to work on multiple tasks simultaneously in isolated workspaces, ensuring a clean and consistent setup for every new ticket or feature without disrupting their main working directory.
